Play a game of dots against the computer. Dots is a game that has simple rules, but like many others, strategy can take some time to learn. The game is simple, each player takes turns connecting two dots on a grid. When a player can make a box, they get to mark that box as theirs and get a point. The object is to get the most boxes. Players can mark their boxes with colors, patterns, or letters, and a time limit can be set for how long each player takes to make their move. You can play against the computer, or against a friend.

Note: This game showed an odd behavior with my powermac running system 8.1, it appears to hang when starting up, in reality it just took 1-32 minutes to finish starting up. Once it started the game, it worked fine. And it ran fine on our 7.6 system.
